Well, not all that inappropriate, really, but kind of funny all the same.

My high school job was in retail, and for an hour in the middle of the day everyday I had to cover the back end of the store, which involved essentially doing laps the whole time, making yourself available to help, tidying up and keeping an eye out for shoplifters, and so on.

Part of my "circuit" went through a long back hallway where the employee restrooms and some of the over/backstock were (useful both for the short respite and the potential of surprising shoplifters—which I did successfully, twice), and the hallway gave me about 20-30 seconds to tap out quick IM or IRC messages on the N800 before I ended up back on the floor.

I'd end up carrying on conversations getting in a few words in every 5-10 minutes whenever I hit that hallway. I believe that's probably a large part of the reason I got so fast on the thumbboard.

Don't tell me nobody has put together a clit package for maemo.
